For the past 2 years I've been getting many free product samples through the Internet from manufacturers , stores and companies .
I've received A whole bunch of free makeup samples and designer perfumes for my girlfriend ,colognes for myself ,household products ,deodorants ,toothpaste ,shampoo ,food samples and more ....
So much so that I have enough samples for some products to last a couple of months , and im not talking about cheap merchandise .
Yes, there are many true manufacturers or companies like Loreal , Dove , Walmart , Maybelline just to name a few that are extremely generous .
However there are also many fraudulent third parties or false companies that promise you free product samples or free stuff online but in reality they are after your e-mail address so they can flood you with advertisements or trick you to buy something .
Product samples are not only great freebies but also a great way to shop online because you can actually try the product before you buy it .
Here's some tips , advice and precautions you may want to consider before requesting free products online .
1. Never and I repeat "NEVER" give them your credit card number no matter how tempting the offer may look.
If a company asks for your credit card number they will definitely find a way to charge you later on .... Product samples are supposed to be totally free and there's no need to leave them your CC # .
2. When requesting free product samples online always use a free e-mail service such as gmail or yahoo and only give them your phone number if you know its a reputable company or manufacturer .
3. When you arrive on their samples page always read their terms & conditions before making your request .
4. Finally , If your interested in a product , don't be shy to e-mail the company or store and ask them if you can try a sample , you'd be surprised on how many merchants offer free product samples especially in the beauty & health categories such as makeup , colognes , perfumes , vitamins and even foods .
